OTcl, short for MIT Object Tcl, is an extension to Tcl/Tk for object-oriented programming. It shouldn't be confused with the IXI Object Tcl extension by Dean Sheenan. Some of OTcl's features as compared to alternatives are: * designed to be dynamically extensible, like Tcl, from the ground up * builds on Tcl syntax and concepts rather than importing another language * compact yet powerful object programming system (draws on CLOS, Smalltalk, and Self) * fairly portable implementation (2000 lines of C, without core hacks)
